The Diet Of Strong Men.

The Roman soldiers who built such
wonderful roads, and carried weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine They were
temperate in diet, and regular and con
slant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day aud dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only Ii tie fruit and some
olives, yet he walks off with load of a
hundred pounds. The coolie, fed on
rice, is more active and can endure more
than the negro fed on fat meat. The
heavy work of the world is not done by
men who eat the greatest quantity.
Moderation in diet seems to be the pre-
requisite of endurance. --Scientifc Ameri-

American HOrse.Car Rails.

Prof. Reckenzaun is the authority for
the statement that experiments have
shown that the horse-car rail in use in
this country does not necessitate the en-
ployment of as much motive power for
street cars as the use of the English or
narrow grooved rail. The American
type of rail requires about fifteen per
cent. less power, there being practically
no loss from friction in the broad groove.

How the English Eat.

Englishmen eat at much shorter in

to. The farm laborer eats four meals

England the tables are spread for meals
at intervals of four hours during the day
and evening.

The Lead Pencil.

There Is no lead pencil, and there has
been hone for fifty years. There was a
time when q spiracle of lead, cut from
the bar or sheet, suficed to make marks
on white paper or some rougher abrad-
ing material. The name lead pencil
came from the old notion that the pro-
ducts of the Cumberland mines, Eng
land, were lead, instead of being plum
bago, or graphite, carbonate Of iron,
capable of leaving q lead-colored mark.
With the original lead pencil OF slip,
and with the earlier styles of the "lead"
pencil made direct from the Cumber-
land mine, the wetting Of the pencil was
a preliminary Of writing. But since it
has become a manufacture, the lead PEN
ell is adapted by numbers or letters to
each particular design. There are grades
of hardness, from the pencil that may be
sharpened to a needle point to one that
makes broad mark. Between the two
extremes there are q number of grada-
tons that cover all the conveniences of
the lead pencil. These gradations are
made by taking the original carbonate
and grinding it aud mixing 1t with a fine
quality of clay in different proportions
regard being had to the use of the pen
Gil. The mixture is thorough, the mass
is squeezed through dies to form and size
it, is dried, and encased in its wood en-.
